  He didn't put a needle in, just tapped around and decided he was going to try to have the seroma absorb naturally. But I imagine it isn't a small needle, so leakage seems normal. I wouldn't worrry about it unless it looks red and infected.

  I also had the same surgery on Nov. 2, and have had almost exactly the same experience as you. I felt good, so I guess I did too much. The doc didn't yell but was disappointed with me for sure. Super swollen. Although I do have some fluid, it wasn't enough to drain. So now I am supposed to take it easy, bit we have family events every day this week, with people who I don't really want to tell about the surgery. I walk straight and have no pain. Some discomfort when I get up from sitting. Mostly just laying around, icing, and taking ibuprofen

  I am 18 days post op and bizarrely swollen. The ps even seems baffled. I also have padding stuffed in my cg. Also, taking ibuprofen 3 times a day and icing my belly. I didn't look pregnant this morning, so that's a plus. Also, swelling is confined to my lower abdominals. So I got to see some definition in my uppers this morning, even if it was only briefly.

  Our husbands must be related. Here is my opinion, at lest for me, wearing a bikini is such a small part of one's life. Think about how much better you look in your clothes. Think about how you skin isn't hanging. Think about how good you feel when your hands are around your waist. Also think about how much your scar will fade, and think about how many swimsuits there are for you to try on this summer. I am SURE you will be able to find a super cute bikini that will work. And you are beautiful. Husbands are weird.

  I wear gauze over my ointment.
